A test project can have a list of tested applications. You can automatically launch these applications from your tests and the TestComplete IDE.
You can add tested applications at design time when creating new projects by using the Create New Project wizard. To add an application, select its type and then specify the application information on the next page of the wizard. You can also add tested applications to your project at any time later.
| Note: |
If you create a new project during test recording, you will not have to select the tested application type for your project. TestComplete will automatically add the applications you will launch during test recording to the created project. |
